West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini has been charged by the Football Association with diving to win a penalty in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Stoke City.

Lanzini went down under Erik Pieters’ challenge, which prompted referee Grahan Scott to point to the spot. Mark Noble scored the 19th-minute penalty to put the Hammers 1-0.

The Argentine has now been charged with “successful deception of a match official”. He has until 6pm tomorrow to respond, but faces a two-match ban if he accepts the charge or it is upheld.

Decisions are made, on a fast-track basis, by a panel comprised of one ex-official, one ex-manager and one ex-player – all three review the video footage independently and a charge follows only when they are unanimous.

Last month, Everton striker Oumar Niasse was banned for diving to win a penalty in his side’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
